I'm looking to purchase a house, my building inspector noted that there were three layers of roofing and suggested additional supports or trusses to the roof to help balance the load of the additional weight.
I'm just a regular consumer, not a contractor or roofer. Does anyone know, if I purchase this home, am I liable to repair this roof? Is it against the law to have 3 layers on a roof, or is it against the law for a roofer to install a 3rd layer? I'm not sure I'm reading it correctly.
I just want to insure that at some point someone doesn't come out to my new house and tell me the roof needs to be replaced. Removing and disposing of 3 layers alone will be an expensive endeavor, forget about adding the cost of reroofing!
Any help appreciated, thanks!
